Samsung GALAXY S4

Samsung Galaxy S4Designed to amplify life’s meaningful moments, the Samsung GALAXY S4 is a great companion for capturing and sharing holiday moments (and bloopers). Here are some of the things that make using the Samsung

GALAXY S4 from TELUS an effortless, beautiful experience:

Sporting the world’s first-ever Full HD Super AMOLED display, the GALAXY S4’s five-inch screen showcases images in stunning resolution. And with its Dual Camera mode (including a 13-megapixel rear camera), users can capture life’s moments in as many ways as you can think of – and enjoy them seamlessly through TELUS’ 4G LTE wireless network.

Break language barriers with S-Translator – customers who are traveling abroad this holiday season will appreciate this! They can say or text what they need translated and the GALAXY S4 will read or text the translation back.

Provides effortless innovation – features like Smart Pause, Air View, Air

Gesture and Optical Reader detect your motions, face and voice to enable screen control with no need for finger touch activation (and the screen can be used with gloves, too!)

Group play – Users can connect with friends and family around them to play and co-create content, without the need for a Wi-Fi connection or cell signal.

Toss it in your bag, worry-free – constructed with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3, this phone is as tough as it is beautiful, and can withstand the daily bump and grind (or last minute trip to a tropical destination to ring in the New Year!)

TELUS SharePlus Plans

Getting the whole family together for the holidays is easier with TELUS’ SharePlus plans! Featuring unlimited nationwide talk and text, TELUS customers can talk to family and friends all over the country without worrying about overages or long distance charges.

Best of all, additional smartphones and tablets can be added without having to add additional data – as the name suggests, they just share it! So, the more devices customers add, the bigger the savings. More time with family and fewer bills to manage? Yes, please!

  203. I would have to keep this one for myself because my current phone (first generation Samsung Galaxy) is a little long in the tooth

  216. everyones got a phone but me, so its for me. I DON’T have one as I don’t go to the city unless I’m with someone else (I don’t have a car, so go with my daughter) When she moves out I’ll prob get a car and I’ll def need a phone as I know its not safe to drive on our highways without one. I certainly don’t need one for anything else (prob the main reason I’ve not gotten one ) We have a home phone due to the fact that you can’t get internet unless you have a land line (and prob won’t ever change out here) I know you can get internet with your cell but from what all my co-workers say, its not very good and its even worse then the old dial up (quite a few people I work with live in a tiny town of 7 houses lol)

    Reply

  228. Depending, I would give this to my hubby or nephew. Both of them are techies; I would have to check to see if my nephew has or not.

    Reply

  230. I’d give the earphones to my middle son and keep the phone for myself. I have a Samsung now but could do with updating it, or so my son says ;-)

    Reply

  245. If I were lucky enough to win, I would hand this prize over to my hubster. He’s been wanting these headphones for a while now. I would love to see the excitement on his face.

    Reply

  249. I would give the Galaxy S4 mini to my older son who is dying for a cell phone, and I would give the beats to my younger son. Share the wealth, so to speak! Thanks for the opportunity to win! :) Enjoy the holidays.

    Reply

  262. My son received his first cell phone (a slide phone) when he turned 14 on December 23rd five years ago and he turns 19 on Monday and he still has his first phone so I would give this to him!

    Reply

  265. I would love to win the headphones, mine are always getting stolen by the kids. I tried them on at the store and could not believe the sound.. They would be heaven

    Reply

  266. My son who is in college; music and a cell phone are his life and he has a really old handed down blackberry so this would rock his Christmas, the headphones are on his wish list already so this would be ridiculously awesome to win for him!!! Thanks for this chance!
